Barcelona could make surprise move for Darmian

Cape Town - Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian is attracting interest from Barcelona, according to reports.

The 29-year-old Darmian has already been linked with a move to Italy in a deal involving Mario Mandzukic going to United, which seems extremely unlikely.

Darmian only has a year left on his contract after making seven appearances in all competitions for the Red Devils last campaign.

The latest rumours come from Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo (via Sport Witness), who claim that Barcelona are 'attentive' to a deal for Darmain as they look out for a cheap left-back.

The Italy international is primarily a right-back but has also played on the left and he could be an option.

Junior Firpo and Philipp Max are other possible options for the Catalan giants but it is understood United could ask for less than 10m Euros for Darmian, which could be tempting for Barcelona.

It would certainly be a surprise to see Darmian end up at Barca and a move to Italy seems more likely.
